About this list

The list of the Javid-Nam (“everlasting names”), those who lost their lives, in the year 1392 is not complete. The real number of executions in the year 1392 is higher, and many were reported without names; we record only a name that has a source. Almost all the names on this page come from the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center, with 377 reports; Persian Wikipedia has reported 3 cases, English Wikipedia 2 cases and the Center for Human Rights in Iran 1 case. So most of the names of this year rest on only one source, and we are trying to find other sources for them as well. For 37 people a description of their life is available. If you knew one of the Javid-Nam in the year 1392, share your memory or correction with us.
